Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet avocado mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Do not overmix.

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
